The lens in the human eye is a convex lens, but it is flexible and when it is acted on by the ciliary muscle around it, the lens can be "flattened" to change the focus, or, when the muscle is relaxed, the lens can assume a more spherical shape. This is at the heart of the ability of the eye to focus on objects nearer or farther away.
